Abstract

A novel ultrasonic-aided laser (UAL) machining technique is developed to improve the overall quality of Nd:YAG laser machined holes. In blind hole drilling of aluminum-based metal matrix composites the UAL technique produces better quality machined holes: the dimension of the heat affected zone and the amount of re-cast material are greatly reduced; deeper holes with significantly less tapering can be attained. However, it appears that there exists a critical laser beam intensity below which no increase in depth is observed.
